Ch. 8: a new teacher

The doctor's house

Ezra is slowly waking up in Abena's house, seeing the doctor with her arm wrapped in cloth, writing something.

She notices he is awake but pays no mind to him.

-"what are you writting?"

-"a letter"

-"to who?"

-"mind your bussiness Ezra"

Ezra looks even more interested in what she is writting and tries to stand up but fails multiple times. Ezra gets irritated by that fact and tries even harder but ends up hurting himself more, he gives up in the end. Then, he looks forward and sees a familiar face behind the curtains.

-"is Ezra recovering well doctor?"

-"yes, very much so, but he can't move. Personally, i think we should go on to the next part of the training, his phisical training is over, not like he can move anyway."

-"alright then, you can leave now Abena" the chief says swaying his hand.

-"i will, i have just finished writting my letter."

-"oh? To whom?" he says curiosly.

-"i cannot tell you." Abena says, leaving in a hurry.

-"so, i guess we're alone little guy"

-"i guess so, can you tell me something about manna?"

-"what do you want to know?"

-"tell me, what are the manna types?"

-"weak, standard and powerful. I guess there are those with no manna but that is a genetic mutation, you have weak manna, i know since your eyes apear as golden, a sign of a low concentration of manna in your soul, concequently, standard manna apears as blue and powerful as red, the colors can be seen in your eye glow and the color of the spells you use."

Ezra turns his head towards towards the wall, trying to think of a question to ask. He turns around again.

-"what are spells? What are the types of spells? How do they work?"

-"thats a lot of questions... Well, to start off, spells are a manifestation of manna. Well, i guess "manifestation" isn't the best word to use, more like "projection" of manna. A spell is created after manna is forced to project from your body or other objects, you cannot force manna out of animals or other beings since they have a soul themselves. Onto your second question: spells are devided into four types, attack, defense, support and mobility, mobility allows you to run away from your opponent, catch them or get close to them to land a strike, support is a mixture of one or two of the other types or none of them, but attack and defense are special! Unlike other spells you need their name to use the spell. Your last question however... The answer can be found in the first question. Now, if you have no other questions, i'll be going now."

He gets up and begins to walk away but Ezra stops him, trying to ask another question.

-"how do i know the name of a spell?"

-"you'll find out... Sooner or later..." he says, briefly looking at ezra before leaving the doctors office. He walks out of the tent an icycle hits him in the head and he fall to the ground. Dead.

ONE DAY AGO

-"will we fight Ezra soon?" aisha asks while sitting in a room with food a table and two chairs.

Levitus is sitting in a chair across the table holding the blue orb in one hand with the other on the table holding her head up, she seems to be inspecting the orb looking amused and intertained.

-"should we hand in the orb for inspection?" Aisha asks

-"no, i'll hold on to it for a bit longer, might come in handy for something. I'll will find Ezra tommorow, it'll be fun~"

NOW

-"come on out Ezra, its no use hiding~"

-"shit, shit shit shit." Ezra gets up quickly and hides under the bed

-"oh, where could he be? You fucking dumbass." she attacks the bed with ice launching him out of the house through the roof and into a bush he lands and begins running away despite his wounds.

-"why did you think hiding under your bed will save you? You're not in a fairytale might i remind you" her voice echoes in the distance as Ezra continues running through the woods.

-"don't try it..." Levitus apears in front of Ezra walking away from a tree, Ezra is shocked and begins running in the opposite direction not looking back he runs at full speed going through countless trees and bushed getting scrapes and bruses as he bumps into them but he pays no mind to the injuries he gets or got before almost as if they were all already healed or as if he never got them in the first place.

-"you can't escape me, i hear everything~" says a sweet soft voice coming from the trees in front of Ezra, the voice seems like its tounting Ezra as much as its calling for him...

To be continued...
